Hungry For Change

I first watched Hungry For Change over Thanksgiving and have been waiting for the right time to blog about it. I re-watched it over my Christmas break and I am still just as blown away and mind-boggled as I was the first time I saw it. Whether you made a New Years resolution to eat better, to lose weight, to avoid chocolate, to become a vegetarian, or even if you made a resolution that wasn’t food related at all, this movie is worth your time to watch. I promise.

Here is some “food for thought” from the movie that might spark your interest:

“We are not eating food anymore. We are eating food-like products”

“A lot of people don’t realize that the answer to feeling better is to start from the inside out”

“68% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese”

“Sugar is a DRUG just like cocaine or heroin”

“If it’s made in a lab, it takes a lab to digest it”

“The simpler I get when it comes to food, the healthier I get”

“Diets DO NOT work!”

“Propylene Glycol, a chemical that can be used to winterize your vehicles or to clean out your colon before a colonoscopy, is also found in blueberry muffins.”

“It’s not fat that makes you fat, it’s sugar that makes you fat!”

“Vegetables are the most beneficial food group we have access to”

“Nobody controls what YOU put in YOUR mouth”

“Health is the natural state of the body. And we are NOT a healthy population!”

I really can’t say enough good things about Hungry For Change. It is SO relevant, realistic, motivating and inspiring. If this movie isn’t enough to make a person stop and re-evaluate their food choices and life habits, then I don’t know what is!
